Draw a character from a book.

[StrainedEyes]

Here is a thread to both post descriptions of characters from books, and post illustrations of them.

Here's a challenge for anyone interested (I'm going to try eventually)
I just finished reading Cell, and have been trying to picture the main 'baddie' in the book, The Raggedy Man or The President of Harvard.
It was made alittle easier because the main character is a comic book artist, and sketched the man right after his dream first showed him.


----
He had been a black man with a noble head and an ascetic's face above a lanky, almost scrawny body. The hair was a tightcap of dark ringlets cut open on one side by an ugly triangular gouge. The shoulders were slight, the hips nearly nonexistant. Below the cap of curls Clay quick sketched the broad and handsome forehead- a scholar's forehead. Then he marred it with another slash and shaded in the hanging flap of skin that obscured one eyebrow. The man's left cheek had been torn open, possibly by a bite, and the lower lip was also torn on that side, making it droop in a tired sneer. The eyes were a problem. Clay couldn't get them right. In the dream they had been both full of awareness yet somehow dead. After two tries he left them and dropped to the pullover before he lost that: the kind the kids called a hoodie (Read, he printed, with an arrow) with white block letters across the front. It had been too big for the skinny body and a flap of material lay over the top of the letters, but Clay was pretty sure it said HARVARD.

I'm curious to see what some people can come up with. And feel free to post any discriptions you've been curious about
